Lula Da Silva points to Jair Bolsonaro again. The president of Brazil said Friday that the former president of Brazil sent his son, Eduardo, for the United States to ask Donald Trump to save him through tariff threats.
“That coward, who prepared a blow in this country sent his son to the US to ask Trump to threaten us: ‘If they don’t release Bolsonaro, I’m going to impose tariffs’“President Lula said in an act with members of his government in the state of the Holy Spirit, according to the portal G1.
“‘Trump, for the love of God, saves my father.’ These people should fall as shame,” Lula da Silva continued, in response to the recent public praises of the president of the United States to
In response to the Coercive Measures of the White House, the Brazilian President has indicated that they will resort to the World Trade Organization (OMC), although he has advanced that they will act in a reciprocal way if it does not reach diplomacy.
Trump himself told the press that Bolsonaro is being treated “very unfair”although he has not ruled out talking to Lula “at some point.” “I may talk to Lula at some point. Let’s see what happens,” he said.
For its part, Bolsonaro has highlighted in a message posted on social networks that Trump “is the president of the main democracy of the world and the most prominent representative of the values that support Western civilization”, values that, according to him, “Many are determined to dismantle.”
He has also published another cryptic message in which he seems to refer to Lula. “Are you, are you again who is with me in your mouth?” He stressed shortly after the statements of the current Brazilian president about his son. In fact, last Monday, Trump denounced the “Political persecution” and the “Witch hunting” which he considers is suffering from Bolsonaro, prosecuted for a coup attempt after the elections he lost in 2022.
“This is neither more nor less than an attack against a political rival, something that I know a lot! It has happened to me ten times and now our country is the most attractive in the world,” he argued.
Bolsonaro and seven other people are in the central nucleus of a accused plot criminal association, attempt to violate the rule of law, coup d’etat and damage to the heritage due to the mobilizations that culminated in the attempt to take the institutions of January 8, 2023.
